Becoming Introvert...

It has definitely been a long long time since I have updated, sorry munchasauruses!
Don't get me wrong, it's not because I haven't been a munchasaurus, in the contrary I have put crazy amount of weight on. I think it's more to do with I'm becoming more and more introvert...




I have been eating out less and less not because i don't enjoy food, it's mainly because i enjoy the quiet time at my little nest at home, and it is me or it's just too comfortable eating in PJs?
But no worries, I have been keep up my munching schedule with home cooking! Instead of munching around the world physically, i have been munching around the world in the comfort of la maison (home)!

Now i'm very into home cooking, Pinterest is my great source of inspiration. For those of you who's never pinterest-ed - GET ON TO IT! it's addictive as hell, but you get some brilliant ideas with, pretty much, anything.

Anyway, back to to subject of home cooking. Just reading a supermarket's magazine (yes, because I'm that 'cool'...)  I came across an interest recipe which looked great, tastes great and it was simple & quick to make too:

Giant cous cous stuffed in grilled peppers

Ingredients:

85g Giant cous cous

150ml of Water

2 Peppers (which ever colour you prefer)

25g pine nuts toasted

150g of cooked cannellini beans

50g feta cheese, crumbled

5/6 chopped up cherry or plum tomatoes

2 tsp olive oil

pinch of salt & black grounded peppers

a handful of freshly chopped parsleys

(I also used a little bit of red onions)

Lets Cook:

Pre-heat your grill to max, cut the top of the peppers off and de-seed, flip over the top of the peppers and drizzle the top and bottom of the peppers with olive oil, then sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Place in the centre of the grill until the edges are slightly brown. 

In the meantime, cook the giant cous cous in boiling water, I found 150ml water wasn't quite enough water so i added water in moderation whilst it's cooking, remember not to add too much u don't want the cous cous to be overly wet. Leave to cool for 2-3 mins and your cous cous will soak up any excess water. 

Put the pine nuts in a little baking tray and put it in the grill along with the peppers.

Now mix the cous cous with the tomatoes, cannellini beans, parsleys ( and red onions), take out the pine nuts and mix it with salt & pepper to taste.

Take the pepper out from the grill, stuff the peppers with the cous cous mixture. Cover it with the crumbled feta cheese.

Put the top of the peppers back on, it's now ready to munch! :D
